A distinguished gentleman, a tear, and smiles

So, here it goes...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone had pleasant holidays!

I had a date tonight with my parents. I missed being with Tim, but he gave me a "free card". Thank you, Sweetie!!! Guess who we went to go see. My brother-in-law, Vernon Nicodemus. What a singer!!! Center stage, top shelf, and engaging. He really was the most distinguished man on the stage and he gave me a wink when we were applauding in the balcony. I might be biased or delusional. The concert was great and I enjoyed the time that I spent with my mom and dad. (By the way...the first time I met ANY of Tim's family was at a choral concert that Vern was singing in.)

Ruth, my mom, and I cried. The music was moving. Bernie, my dad, reminisced about...well, whatever! (He might of cried, too.) I smiled and wiped my tears. And, we all enjoyed watching the gentleman center stage and listening to wonderful voices all around! Beautiful and breath taking!!!

I remember Tom driving down the long driveway in Olalla back in the ‘70’s. He stopped the car as we listened to a beautiful song being sung by a male singer. Then the announcer came on and said, “That was _____, sung by Vernon Nicodemus.” We both just looked at each other in shock. Wow does he have a great voice.

Thanks for sharing the memory of your family’s time together.
